Evening walk in the jungles....howling wolf in moonlight? No.... Just a slightly nippy air and fresh air @corbettwildiris #tcbg_trips #naturephotography #wildlife #travelpic #instatravel #travelstagram

Khwab gaah... A place for dreams. Indeed with such artistry to please your eyes and a fountain gently spewing rose water who wouldn't wander off in a dream land. But this khwabgaah drapes a sadness in its cold marble walls. This is the bedroom of Emperor Shah Jahan who spent his later years imprisoned in the same room where he spun dreams with his love of life Begum Mumtaz. #beyondthearches is the view of Taj Mahal that kept company for the ailing and heartbroken great Emperor. #agra #agrafortindia #mughalarchitecture #marbleinlay #blackandwhitepic #blackandwhite #instatraveling #travelpic #travelstories #travelstagram

I love bobbing boats against the blue of sky and ocean. The way the boats find their home back to shore having ventured far and away in wild ocean....That comforts me. I like returning home... #tamilnadu #boats #fishermen #travelpic #instatravel #travelstagram #travelstories

Salutations to the Sun...The God of light and energy....One who helps sustain life and one who annihilates. Many ancient cultures consider Sun as God including Hinduism. Yoga has twelve postures for sun salutations called "Surya Namaskaar". The twelve postures are like circuit training in gymnasiums and in itself complete exercise for body and mind. At Muthupet, Tamilnadu as I strolled down the beach early morning in hope to spot dolphins, this old man having taken a first dip in the ocean salutes the sun in all reverence. #suryanamaskar #sunsalutation #sunriseatsea #muthupet #tamilnadu #bayofbengal #travelpic #travelstories #travelstagram #instatravel #indiapics #ig_india #igramming_india

One of the ten mega kitchens in country, the Bhandara at Sai Baba Temple Shirdi, Maharashtra can feed thousands in a day. The dining hall which can seat 3200 people in one sitting operates throughout the day providing free meals to whoever walks in. Service to mankind is the true service to God. #shirdimegakitchen #shirdi #temple #freemeal #travelpic #travelstagram #instatravel #onephotooneindia
